A telegram from a firm of Chicago bankers states they would like a large block of the warrants and would deposit the money to the Treasurer's or­ der. The bid was a most favorable one and was accepted promptly. This, with others just made, gives the State plenty of money to meet i^ll outstanding and prospective obligations. There will be M trouble in maintaining cash payments until August, when a deficiency tax fully equal to the Taylor default will be made. KvnOr of a Protectorate for Hawaii. A dispatch from Honolulu, dated Feb. % and received via Victoria Sunday, says: II is learned from semi-official reports tint Acting Rear Admiral Beafdslee's Instructions authorize him to take posses­ ion of Pearl Harbor for a naval sta­ tion and to declare an American protec­ torate over the Hawaiian Islands as soon 'tea the political conspiracy has been dis­ posed of by the military commission. Color is given to the rumor by government cor- Mspondence received from Washington fejr the last mail and the fact of a detail •f officers having been sent down to Pearl Harbor under the admiral's instructions .to prepare to carry out his orders. There Is a lull in affairs here, and quiet will . probably reign until the military court Sow sitting shall have finished its work. Great interest is attached to the forth­ coming trial of the ex-queen. The Gov­ ernment claims to have more than suffi­ cient evidence i« convict her of treason.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of flfrade says: For a whole w«?k the con­ fident expectation of the sale of bonds has kept back exports of gold. Withdrawals from the treasury amounted to about $2,- 000 ,000, but were mainly for domestic purposes. In the two months ending Feb. X, the treasury actually lost $67,000,000 in gold, of which S40.400.000 went into Circulation and $26,800,000, besides the pcoduct of the mines, went abroad. To arrest this outgo in either direction is a problem which the new issue of bonds May possibly solve. It is hoped that the otia tions with foreign bankers may se- some improvement, though it is that sales of securities here will the same effect as if the bonds were .ced in this country and they may not stopped by the new transactions. The condition of industries if not definitely better, at least presents tome points of encouragement. ^rain men Break Through the Drift. .

Nutt was himself so badly hacked with an axe that he will die. A San Francisco dispatch says that the rifles carried by the Hawaiian rebels were from America, and the bullet which killed Commissioner Carter was shipped from San Francisco. According to the statement of the Englishman, Capt. Da­ vis, who landed the arras in Hawaii, they were loaded in a sailing vessel in San Francisco and subsequently transferred to his craft. This statement, made un­ der oath, was received by a resident by the last steamer, but kept a secret until recently. The arms were Ian le*l on the island by Capt. William Dans, master of the ship Waimanallo, which, curiously enough, was mortgaged by R. W. Castle, the Hawaiian Commissioner. Mrs. Mary Freeman and her two pretty daughters, Fannie and Jennie, were ar­ rested in the second fiat in the building at 668 West Twelfth street, Chicago, early Wednesday evening, charged with attempting to obtain money under false pretenses. They were locked up at Stan­ ton avenue police station. The women left behind them five weeping, wailing children, whose ages ranged from 5 to 17 years. The arrest was the culmination of an investigation extending over a pe­ riod of nearly six weeks, in which it was developed that the women have swin­ dled no less than five railroad and street railway corporationson fraudulent claims for personal injury. It has also been learned that all three have been arrested for shoplifting at Marshall Field's, Man- del's and "The Fair." Jennie was caught in criminal transactions at the World's* Fair a year ago last summer. A profound sensation was caused at Butte, Mont., by a local paper's exposi­ tion of the fact that the Rev. William Rollins, of the Mountain View Methodist Church, the most fashionable church in the city, who has been giving a series of very learned Sunday evening sermons, has been appropriating without credit a secies of lectures delivered by the Rev. Dr. Frank M. Bristol in Chicago and by him published in book form. The leo tures of Mr. Rollins and those from Dr. Bristol's book were published side by side and the identical words appeared in both. Dr. Briuiol's lectures were published un­ der the title, "Providential Epochs," and are entitled "The Renaissance," "The Reformation," "The Discovery of Amer­ ica" and "The Settlement of Our Coun­ try." The Rev. Mr. Rollins called his lectures "The Revival of Learning," "The Reformation," "The Discovery of Amer­ ica" and "America's Pioneers." A trolley car of the Russell avenue and Holton street line, Milwaukee, plunged through the open draw of the Klnnickin- nick avenue bridge at 8:30 Monday morn­ ing, carrying three people down to death in the icy waters of the river. Six oth­ ers were rescued from the partly sub­ merged car. The dead were: Mrs. An­ toinette G. Ehlman, a kindergarten teach­ er; John Kennedy, motorman; Miss Schmidtkunts, employed at National Knitting Works. It was the worst street car accident that ever happened in Mil­ waukee, and the news of the shocking disaster sent a thrill of horsor through­ out the city. From all arcoupts the ac­ cident seems to have clearly been due to the carelessness of the motorman, John Kennedy, but he stuck to his post in a tain endeavor to stop the car, which he had permitted to approach too near the open draw, and paid the penalty of his carelessness with his life. The car struck endwise in the river^nd was submerged for about two-thirds of its length, the fact that it did not go to the bottom of the riveh, which is eighteen feet deep at that point, being due to the presence of thick ice. This circumstance alone, it is believed, made it possible to rescue any of the passengers. •bout 4 o'clock Monday morning a terrific explosion awakened the people of Milan, Ohio. A hurried examination showed that the Lockwood bank build­ ing had been broken into, the safe blown and its contents, about $30,000, taken by five masked men, who, in blowing open the safe, had demolished the building and started an alarm all over the village.! Among the many who started to investif gate the explosion was L. L. Stoddard, cashier of the bank, and he was just in time to see the five men leave the bank building, jump into a carriage and drive away. He fired several shots at them, but without effect, and the men soon dis­ appeared in the direction of Sandusky. A posse of men was hurriedly organized and soon followed in pursuit. At the same time notices were sent by wire in all di­ rections and the hews spread around them so securely that escape was well night impossible. At Sandusky two men were caught. The exact amount of money secured cannot yet be ascertained, but it is believed to be about $30,000. The bank is a wealthy concern, which fact was doubtless known by the men. The only error in their well-laid plans was the heavy explosion which started the alarm. It is quite probable that they had not prepared it with sufficient caution and by that error their plans were upset and themselves placed in danger of capture. <BASTERR. y>:;; The schooner T. B.

WASHINOTOVf. , The District of Columbia appropriation bill was passed by the Senate after amendments to coin the silver seigniorage and to issue bonds had been ruled out. By the narrow majority of twenty-sev en the House of Representatives Thurs­ day defeated the administration financial measure, and the hopes of relief for the treasury from Congress tumbled to the ground.

The steam­ er brings further news to the effect that the trials of the rebel leaders was pro­ gressing when the vessel left Honolulu, and that Queen Lil had renounced all her rights as sovereign. An explosion of fire damp is reported from Montceau les Mines, France. Thirty persons are believed to have been killed in the mine where the explosion took place. Fire broke out in the St. Eugenie pit, and while the miners were fighting this fire an explosion occurred which wrecked the galleries and entombed the miners. The rescue party has recovered twenty-one bodies and has removed from the ruins eight badly injured miners.

The police are making active search for other similar establishments in Berlin. Lowestoft advices say that the body of a woman has been washed ashore near South wold; it has not been identified, but is presumed to be the remains of one of the passengers of the Elbe. Another body has been brought in by a fishing smack. From papers fourid on the body it is believed to be that of Fritz Hart- mann, musical director of the Elbe, or H. P. Shunder, the chief steward of the steamer. For the past week strong east­ erly winds have prevailed, and since Fri­ day last there has been a succession of gales which have raised heavy seas, com­ pelling the coasting steamers to seek shel­ ter in various ports. Eastward-bound steamships from America have been meeting with head winds and heavy gales from the east. The British steamship Cephalonia, Captain Seccomba, of the Cunard Line, which left Boston for Queenstown, is overdue. Much anxiety is expressed for other vessels overdue. With the usual pomp and ceremony, the fourth session of the thirteenth Vic­ torian Parliament was opened in Lon­ don Tuesday afternoon. The customary Guy Fawkes search was made by Lord Chamberlain Carrington and a dozen of the yeomen of the guard, and then the house assembled and listened to the read­ ing of the queen's speech. The pronounce­ ment from the throne was a distinct dis­ appointment. It has been given out free­ ly from ministerial sources that if the Rosebery administration was to fall it would fall fighting; that the speech, there­ fore, would contain reference to all the reforms which the liberal party approves, reg'ardless of their probable passage at the present session. True, several im­ portant questions are brought to the front--the Welsh chnrch establishment, plural voting, popular control of the liq­ uor traffic, county government for Scot­ land, and Irish land measures. But in regard to the burning question of the times--the reformation or abolition of the lord*--Premier Rosebery says not a word. - IN GENERAL -1 , , t Obituary: At Frankfort, Inct, General M. D.

The Cincinnati Price Current summar­ izes the crop conditions for the past week as follows: "A portion of the wheat crop area has recently been subjected to freez­ ing and thawing, and some injury has been done, but the crofr is mostly prAleet- ed and uninjured. Interior wheat offer­ ings are exceptionally small and siles are being made only at a premiun over parity with market centers. Millers' sup­ plies are low and replenishment is diffi­ cult. Corn is in fair supply in many dis­ tricts, but not marketed freely. Tlio week's packing of hogs amounted to 310,- 0b0, against 265,000 for the correspond­ ing week a year ago." There was no sight or sign at 'New York Thursday of the missing La Gascogne, no intimation of its whereabouts or of the mishap that may have befallen it. From the company's office, from the Maritime Exchange, from the Associated Press, and the telegraph companies who report all vessels inward bound came the same answer, "No news." And with the big French liner five days overdue and no word of u or of the 372 souls aboard the anxiety has grown in many quarters to heartrending suspense. With the grow­ ing dread of the Gascogne's peril there came the hope that the White Star steam- snip Teutonic, two days overdue from Liverpool, is standing to aid the missing Bhip* -- ^ MARKET RBPORT8.

Vansm ia This Country B«vs the Advantage of More Fertile Soil and Coat to Xhair Foreign Competitors. . German Merchants Angry. , -v, European economists are alarmed at the prospect that the United States, the greatest sugar country in the world, and always relied upon to absorb the surplus European product, will at no distant date produce all of its own sugar. Frank Ma­ son, United States Consul General Frankfort, Germany, has submitted to the State Department a special report on American competition in sugar produc­ tion, which is full of interesting statistics on the subject. Among other things he shows that the crop of beet-sugar last year exceeded i>y 760,000 tons the product of the preceding year. The production of cane sugar has doubled in the past twenty years, while that of beet sugar has trebled. Careful examinations of the possibilities of beet- sugar production in the United States have been made by European correspond­ ents who show that certain districts, no­ tably California and some of the more Southerly and Westerly States, enjoy de­ cided natural advantages over all the beet-producing countries of Europe. Four elements enter, into the competi­ tion, climate, cost and fertility of land, cost of labor and the effective ecomomy of the machinery and methods of cultiva­ tion and sugar manufacture. In all but one--cost of labor--the United States has the advantage. An English correspond­ ent shows thatv6ereas beet-growing in Germanj^hetTtfuhstanding the cheapness of labor, costs on an average of $50.30 per acre; in California, in spite of high wages, the net cost does not exceed $17.30 per acre, a difference of $32.80 per acre in favor of the Pacific coast. Land is also cheaper, and the California farmer works a rich virgin soil, while his German rival is restricted to old, worn-out lands which must be sustained by the constant use of fertilizers. These facts have, as Mr. Mason shows, awakened apprehension among European economists and sugar producers, and have greatly depressed the movement in En­ gland to plant beets instead of wheat. A report has been received by Secretary Morton from United States Consul Morss in Paris showing the cost of a complete equipment for beet sugar mills of different capacities. The cost of a mill of a capac­ ity of 16% tons is shown to be $186,794; of 11 tons, $138,116, and of 5% tons, of $94,600. The machinery upon whifch these estimates are made, says Consul Morss, is of the latest and most improved patterns, and the installations contempla­ ted are first-class in every respect. The figures represent the cost of the material free on board cars in the Btation at Havre, and do not include the maritime transportation, assurance, etc., which re­ main at the charge of the consignee. KURT ,W- 4 , 1? CRUMBLING TO RW»M& Unless Repaired Lincoln's Splendid Column Will Fall. The Lincoln Monument is about to fall down. This is the alarming condition in which a committee from the Illinois Leg­ islature has just found it. The tomb of the great emancipator is suffering from neglect. Something must be done--and done with celerity--or the stately obe­ lisk may be an irretrievable ruin. There is a widespread demand that the State of Illinois take charge of the monument, fix it up, and make it free to the world. That this will be done during the present ses­ sion of the Legislature seems highly probable. The money with which the Lincoln Monument was built came from all parts of the land. Lincoln was scarcely dead when the movement was started for the erection of a monument at his old home. The original cost of the Lincoln Monu­ ment was about $230,000. But its con­ struction was faulty, and only a few years ago the State was called upon to expend ieveral thousand dollars in mak- Kurt von Goessel, captain of the foun­ dered North German Lloyd steamship Elbe, was born in Ratibor, Prussian Si­ lesia, where his mother still lives. The Von Goessels are connected with many of the most aristocratic families in Ger­ many. Captain von Goessel's only broth­ er is a general in the German army, and under William I. was a member of the general staff. Von Goessel ran away to sea when he was fifteen years old. He became an en­ thusiastic sailor, and eventually com­ manded a fine sailing ship. More than twenty years ago he passed the examina­ tions required by the Lloyds and entered their service as a fourth officer. He took command of the Elbe about three yearo ago. For three years previous to that time he was captain of one of the com­ pany's vessels that went from Bremen Singapore through the Sues Canal. fore that time he commanded a Lloyd boat that sailed from Bremen to Rio do Janeiro, and from that port to Baltimore. Captain von Goessel's family consists of his wife and three children--a girl, 17 years old, and two sons, one 12, the other 3 years old. They live in Bremer- haven. They formerly lived in Hanover, but moved north to be nearer the captain when he was in port The captain was 44 years old, fine looking, and stood six feet two inches in his stocking feet. He was broad shouldered, well buiit. He had bright, blue eyes and wore a flaxen beard. He was an economic as well as a popular captain, and time and again received pre­ miums from his company for the econ­ omical administration of the affairs of his boat. ary conspirators, we find it is still the in­ nocent that suffer most. The Turk de­ clares the Armenians have inflicted shock­ ing outrages upon Turkish men and wom­ en, and from what is already known of conspiracy methods it is quite likely the assertion is true. The facts are known at #he embassies in Constantinople, and pos­ sibly they have been transmitted in re­ ports to the various governments." ATTACKS ANOTHER MINISTER.

The monument asso^ation, which controls the monu­ ment, has found itself powerless to check the ruin of Lincoln's tomb.

Repeated attempts bave been made to have the monument transferred to the State, but up to this time all negotiations to this end have failed.

Rev* Anna 8haw Usee Sharp Lan­ guage About Dr. Hawthorne* The Bensation of Friday morning'B ses­ sion of the National Women's Suffrage convention at Atlanta was a sharp attack on Rev. Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, pastor of the First Baptist Church, by Rev. Dr. Anna Shaw, D. D., of Pittsburg. She arose to a question of personal privilege, holding in her hand a copy of a morning paper. "I desire," said she, "to call at­ tention to an error in this paper in the statement that I referred to Mr. Haw­ thorne when I mentioned that some one had said women ought not to vote be­ cause they were not taxed. I did not re­ fer to Mr. Hawthorne. If the newspaper report of Mr. Hawthorne's sermon was correct, it was ungentlemanly, uncalled- for, unmanly for him to go out of his way to attack a number of strangers. I did not answer Dr. Hawthorne. No lady will attempt to answer him. She can't descend to that plane." The remarks "Were greeted with wild applause. It tvould subside for a moment, only to jreak forth again at a fresh thrust. At the afternoon session Miss Maura Clay, of Kentucky, a daughter of Gen. Cassius M. Clay, reported for the South­ ern committee that the movement was .Advancing in this section, though many difficulties had been met.

Preaa Correspondent Telia of Their Outrages Against the Turk*. A letter has been received In London from the special correspondent of the Associated Press, who was sent to Ar­ menia from London to investigate the reported Arqpnian atrocities, and who at present is in^Armenia. For reasons that will be re&dily understood, the name of this correspondent is withheld, but he is a newspaper man well known in America, and he was instructed to make an impar­ tial investigation of the stories told of Turkish cruelty. He spent a week or more in Constantinople before starting for Armenia, during which time he in vestigated the reports current there and continued his journey. His first letter has just reached here, after having been posted by a trusted messenger at Tiflis, Russia. It contains the first authentic news from Armenia direct, and says: "Whatever secrets may lie under the snow on the Armenian mountains, it seems beyond dispute from what I have heard from many lips, that the published stories of ferocious butchery and red hor­ ror in the Sassoun villages have at least a reasonable foundation of truth, and that any change authorized by further investigation will deal more with num bers than with the degree of horror. But no matter what light we throw upon the the receivers had not been acting in the interest of the property before going into the question of removal of the receivers. He called Receiver Greenhut to the stand and asked him if he dealt in any whisky trust stock Monday or Tuesday. Greenhut said he bought between three and four thousand shares Tuesday, but did not sell. Reeeiver Lawrence said ho neither bought nor sold. Attorney Levy Mayer began arguing on the motion to oust the receivers. Mayer, in his argument, arraigned Greenhut and the directors of the trust as receiving large emoluments not only as directors but as managers of the trust distilleries and through their connection with the cooperage, coal and other com­ panies doing business with the trust.

Advices from Honolulu announce that ex-Queen Liliuokalani has been arrested, charged with complicity with the insur­ gents in the recent rebellion. In addi­ tion all the insurgent leaders have been captured and are being tried by court- martial. Three leaders pleaded guilty of treason, but martial law was main­ tained. The rebellion against the repub- iiwnu lie turned out a complete fiasco. After the first engagement the rebels scattered and some time later Wilcox, Molem, But- tlemen and others of the leaders of the insurrection were captured and are now on trial for treason by court-martial. Shortly after their capture the ex-queen was arrested and her house searched and stores of arms and dynamite bombs were found. Order in the islands was com«, pletely restored. In addition to the arms found in the queen's house a large quan­ tity imported for the use of the rebels has been seized. News of the arrest of ex-Queen Lili­ uokalani caused surprise at the State De­ partment in Washington. The officials decline to discuss the matter. It is known, however, that they believe she is likely to forfeit all property and be exiled. There have been no suggestions that this Gov­ ernment interfere in her behalf. It is ex­ pected the queen's friends will make a diplomatic representation to Great Brit­ ain and the United States to secure her release. , BEV (.A5SA SHAW. abeth Lyie Saxon, on "Club Life Among Southern Women;" Rev.
